The boy, who was being held at the Wood County Juvenile Detention Center, was charged with delinquency for possession of a dangerous ordnance.

Deputy David Spridgeon said investigators were told that the youth made the bomb at home and intended to detonate it in a mailbox near Rawson. Working on information from another 13-year-old on where the bomb was being stored, deputies found that it hadn't detonated, he said.
